Flywheel question, '74 2.0 Options

[zymurgist]

OK, when I got the flywheel out of Babydoll, I found that the inside surface where the O-ring seats was all grungy and the O-ring was trashed. I cleaned the area pretty good, especially in and around the groove where the O-ring seats. The flat surface inside this area is very rough, and I was wondering whether this would be a problem.

I posted pictures in the Saving Babydoll thread.

Is this anything that I should be worried about? I have another flywheel, but this one is in better shape (the other one needs resurfacing, the dowel pins are bent, and it needs a new pilot bearing).

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon_bump.gif) OK, more n00b questions... 1. The flywheel had 5 large hex head bolts and one funny looking washer with 5 holes in it. Are these the correct bolts for the flywheel? Do I need to replace the washer? (Probably should have asked that one before I placed the last PP order.) 2. Going to check end play... I ASSuME that a dial indicator with magnetic base, like what Summit sells, is the proper tool for this? There were 2 shims but I've read that there should be 3. 3. The pressure plate was bolted in place with hex head bolts. However, it was not quite possible to get a socket on them. Are these supposed to be hex head bolts, or are they supposed to be the kind of bolt with round heads that take hex drivers? Probably won't get to the flywheel etc. this weekend, especially if I need to order more parts. But I can put the new (correctly sized) rubber fuel line in, having verified that all 4 injectors are functional.

1)sounds like the right bolts, get new ones, AND a new washer... the bolts can't handle the torque twice...

2) should be 3 shims, I got my dial indicator and magnetic base at Harbor freight, about $20

3) hex head bolts are right here too... you SHOULD be able to get the socket on them though... maybe one didn't have the washer?!

I just put my clutch and pressure plate back on, LMK if you need a picture...
